I'm using Hoppscotch for quite some time now.

I have disabled the telemetry via the settings page:

Yet, via Proxyman -- I am seeing that Hoppscotch app sends telemetry to firestore.googleapis.com.

Most importantly -- they send my access tokens and URLs of my requests to their telemetry.

I can't share a picture because it will be easily identifiable by whoever has access to this telemetry, but it is really an easy reproduction.

That's a huge security risk! Be aware of that.
